Reason for site selection

As the most influential official forum for economic cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region, the location of the APEC meeting is very particular. From Shanghai in 2001 to Hawaii in 2011, Vladivostok in 2012, and Bali in 2013, the choice of venue must strive to reflect the natural scenery, history and culture of the host.

According to Lu Peixin, former acting director of the Protocol Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in recent years, the choice of APEC venues has gradually tended to be in places with good scenery, but there are not many in the capital. This time, Yanqi The lake is used as the main venue to highlight the concept of green environmental protection. In addition to some rigid selection principles, holding such a conference in Beijing should have more environmental considerations. In recent years, Beijing's environmental issues have been questioned by some, and the choice of Huairou, Beijing, for next year's APEC meeting can also highlight Beijing's achievements in controlling environmental pollution, especially air pollution.
